Realtek switches in the rtl8365mb family always have at least one port with a so-called external interface, supporting PHY interface modes such as RGMII or SGMII. The purpose of this patch is to improve the driver's handling of these ports. A new struct rtl8365mb_chip_info is introduced together with a static array of such structs. An instance of this struct is added for each supported switch, distinguished by its chip ID and version. Embedded in each chip_info struct is an array of struct rtl8365mb_extint, describing the external interfaces available. This is more specific than the old rtl8365mb_extint_port_map, which was only valid for switches with up to 6 ports. The struct rtl8365mb_extint also contains a bitmask of supported PHY interface modes, which allows the driver to distinguish which ports support RGMII. This corrects a previous mistake in the driver whereby it was assumed that any port with an external interface supports RGMII. This is not actually the case: for example, the RTL8367S has two external interfaces, only the second of which supports RGMII. The first supports only SGMII and HSGMII. This new design will make it easier to add support for other interface modes. Finally, rtl8365mb_phylink_get_caps() is fixed up to return supported capabilities based on the external interface properties described above. This addresses Vladimir's point in the linked thread that the capabilities are not actually a function of the DSA port type: Although most typical applications will treat the ports with internal PHY as user ports, there is no actual hardware limitation preventing one from using them as a CPU port. Equally, ports with external interface(s) may well be treated as user ports, even though it is typical to use those ports as CPU ports.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
